Chapter 1180 Making a Choice
The female doctor's words made the old couple of the Xing family look unhappy, especially Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun who were standing beside them.
At this time, Mrs. Li was afraid that the Xing family would go back on their word and let her son marry Lianyi. What if she couldn't conceive a child in the future?
Li Xiangjun was also a little stunned. He didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
Lianyi checked her pulse and found that she did have some uterine cold, but it became more obvious after soaking in ice water this time. It was not the case that she could not get pregnant, so she pretended to be nervous and said:
"Doctor, can my disease be cured?"
"It can be cured, but you need to take Chinese medicine and take good care of yourself, at least for a year or so. It's best not to touch cold water. You're not married yet, right?"
The female doctor has already started writing the prescription and is asking questions as she writes.
"Well, I just graduated from high school."
"That's good. Take good care of your body while you're still young, otherwise you'll be miserable when you get married."
After saying this, she glanced at Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun. Although this group of people did not reveal their identities, when she said that the patient had difficulty getting pregnant, the old woman had the ugliest expression, followed by the man.
Although the family of three here looked unhappy, there was worry in their eyes, and it was obvious that they were not on the same side as those two people.
"Doctor, my daughter is still young. Please make sure to cure her illness. Just prescribe any medicine she needs."
Old Man Xing spoke.
"Yes, my daughter is still young, she can definitely be cured."
Xing's mother immediately agreed.
"I know. Take this prescription first and pay for the medicine. I've prescribed it for a week. Come back for a checkup after you finish taking it. I'll see if I need to adjust the prescription."
The female doctor said responsibly.
This time, no one had to ask, Li Xiangjun took the order and took Mrs. Li to pay and get the medicine.
"Doctor, please tell me what to eat to nourish the body. I will make it for my daughter when I get home."
Xing's mother asked immediately.
"I'll write a medicinal meal for you. If your family has the conditions, you can cook it. It's good for women, and my elder sister can eat it too."
The female doctor said kindly.
"Doctor, please write the expensive one."
Lianyi suddenly spoke and winked at the female doctor. The other party understood immediately, glanced at the door, and started writing a medicinal recipe.
The old couple of the Xing family and Xing Guoqing all tacitly kept silent.
The female doctor gave Lianyi the prescription and then said:
"You'd better eat this medicinal diet for a week. It will be more effective when taken with the Chinese medicine I prescribed. After that, you can eat it once a week. After you stop taking the medicine, you can eat it once or twice a month to nourish your body. It's best to eat it for a year."
"Thank you, doctor."
Xing's mother immediately thanked him.
Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun came in at the right time, and then Mother Xing handed the medicinal recipe to Li Xiangjun without any hesitation.
When Li Xiangjun saw the long list of medicinal names including saffron, ginseng root, Panax notoginseng, etc., he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Xiang Jun, this prescription is for my younger sister to nourish her body. The doctor just said that I should drink it for a week at first, then drink it once a week after the follow-up examination, and then drink it twice a month, and at least drink it for half a year.
I know you can't stay at home for long, so either you give me all the medicine at once, or leave enough money for the medicine and we can get it ourselves."
Old Man Xing said unceremoniously.
Mrs. Li and Li Xiangjun had heard it at the door just now. The Xing family did not blackmail them. After the two looked at each other, Li Xiangjun said:
"Uncle Xing, I'll go get the medicine for a week according to the prescription first, and come back for the rest during the follow-up examination. I'm afraid I don't have enough money on me."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
Li Xiangjun and Mrs. Li went to get the medicine again, but this time one dose cost thirty yuan, and seven doses cost two hundred and one. Mrs. Li's heart was bleeding when she took out the money. They had to take the medicine for half a year, and the money for the medicine alone would bankrupt their family.
After getting the medicine, everyone got on the tractor driven by Xing Guoqing and returned to Fuyuan Village. However, on the way back, the mother and son of the Li family both looked unhappy.
After Lianyi went back, Xing's mother began to boil medicine and prepare medicinal food for Lianyi, while Li's mother and son sat in the main room in silence.
"If I had known earlier, I would have married Lianyi back home."
Mrs. Li said regretfully.
"Mom, even if I marry you, I have to treat your illness."
Li Xiangjun sighed.
Now Mrs. Li was silent. Since Lianyi couldn't get pregnant, she had to get treatment, which would still cost the Li family money. You had to pay for it, after all, she suffered from the cold to save Goudan.
"We have to pay for this, but it can't be endless! We have just saved a few dollars at home, and we can't afford to spend it like this!"
Mrs. Li said while hitting her leg. This time, Li Xiangjun didn't say anything.
"No, I'm going to talk to the village party secretary about this."
Mrs. Li still said without giving up.
"Mom, let's talk about it when Lianyi goes for a follow-up checkup."
Li Xiangjun also wanted to save face. After just one visit to the doctor, his family said they would not pay for it. They will definitely be looked down upon in the village in the future.
Lianyi stayed at home for a week. In fact, her body had recovered a long time ago, but she didn't want to let the Li family get away with it. So she used this week to practice a little internal strength, which made it easy to change her pulse.
So when I went to the county hospital for a follow-up check a week later, the female doctor frowned and said:
"The fever has gone down, but your body is still very weak. You need to continue to consolidate your health. Remember to keep warm. If you catch a cold in winter, your condition will worsen, and even if you recover, there will be sequelae."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, doctor. You can prescribe the medicine."
"You can't stop taking the nourishing medicinal food. You have to continue taking it for a week."
The female doctor's words made Mrs. Li slap her chest, she really wanted to kill herself.
This time, Li Xiangjun was responsible for getting the medicine. After sending Lianyi home, he went to Secretary Xing's house.
"Uncle Xing, can you discuss with Lianyi's family and see if we can reduce the amount of this nourishing diet?"
"You think it's expensive?"
"Uncle Xing, I am the only one earning money in my family, and I have three children. My mother's health is not very good, so I have to save some money for emergencies."
"If Lianyi can't be cured and can't have children in the future, how can she get married? Will you marry her?"
Xing Guoqing asked bluntly.
Li Xiangjun remained silent, but he felt that he had done his best, so after a long pause he said:
"Uncle Xing, I also have to support my family."
"How much can you take out now?"
"I can only take out one thousand at most from the money my mother saved for me and my own savings."
Li Xiangjun said while gritting his teeth.
"That's enough medicine for Lianyi to take for a week!"
Xing Guoqing frowned.
Li Xiangjun said that this is all he has.
Xing Guoqing knew that he couldn't make things too difficult for Li Xiangjun, so he said:
"I'll go talk to the Xing family. Get the money ready."
After saying that, he went out with Li Xiangjun.
Mrs. Li didn't say anything when she knew her son's decision. She thought that a short pain is worse than a long one. They had already spent nearly five hundred yuan by accompanying him to see the doctor twice. If this continued, their family really couldn't afford it. What if the Xing family insisted on marrying their daughter to their son?
All we can say is that people are selfish, and when their own interests are involved, they will subconsciously make choices.
